The audience for this event will be educators of public and private schools for students from K thru 12 as well as representatives from federal and state agencies.

The agenda will include: (a) A presentation on the CFL program and its website; and (b) A tour of the property warehouse. At the conclusion of the tour, we will allow attendees to screen and select available computer equipment for transfer. We will also register first time users on the CFL website.

Previous CFL events welcomed attendees from the District of Columbia metropolitan area as well as from Delaware, and West Virginia. The CFL program's ambitious goal is to make modern computer technology an integral part of every classroom so that every child has the opportunity to be educated to his or her full potential. Transferring computers to schools and educational nonprofits extends the useful life of a computer, helps a needy school, and contributes to a cleaner, greener environment.

The SASPs advise applicants of eligibility requirements and procedures to follow in acquiring surplus federal personal property and of the conditions and restrictions placed on the property.
